C & R Automatic Chamfer and Radius (XnZnCn & XnZnRn)

It is possible to automatically generate a chamfer or radius between two connecting linear moves.

Just program X and Z to the theoretical intersection point of the two moves, and put a C or R with the absolute amount of the radius or chamfer needed.

XnZn:	The linear move leading to the intersection point of two features
Rn:	The n is the absolute value of the radius used to blend the two features
Cn:	The n is the absolute value of the chamfer used to blend the two features

RULES

The moves that are connected by the auto chamfer or radius must be linear moves
The C or R command will not work with blending arcs or arcs and lines. If you want to blend these use G02 and G03.

• The moves do not have to be at right angles.
• The chamfer created is set back equally from the intersection point of the two features.
• The radius created is made tangential to the two intersecting features. The direction (CW or CCW) of the radius is determined automatically by the OmniTurn. It looks ahead to the next move.

Here's a simple example part:

The program would be:
